corn-n2: on. TEA-POT.

The Schedulerefened to inthese Letters Patent andm king P t Of the amedletown,in the county of Middles'ex and State of Connecticut, have invented a new Improvement in Tea and Oofiee-Potsf and Idohereby declare the following, when taken in' conne'ction with'the accompanying drawings and the letters of "reference 'inarked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute partof tliisspecification,'and represent .in-

Figure 1, a vertical central section through the spoutyf H Figure 2, a transverse section looking toward the spout; and'in p m Figure 3, the strainer, detached.

' .This invention relates'to animprovementiu the manner of securing the strainer or filter over the spout of tea or cofl'ee-pots,'to strain or filter the tea or coffee'as it passes from the potthrongh the spout; and

It consists inconstructing the strainer from a disk of metal, formed to fit the interior surface of the pot overfthejspout, and secured by a loop fixed u on the pot, so that the strainer, may be taken from he loop A is the pot, and

B the spout, of common construction,

O'is a strainer, which consists of a disk of metal made concavo-convex, and formed so as to fit the inten'or surface of the pot over the spout, and-this disk made fast to a vertical rod, a, curved at its upper end, so as to form a convenient handle; and to the body of the potis fixed a wire loop, (1, extending over the base of the spout, so that the disk may be passe down behindthe said'loop, as seen in figs. 1 and 2, te loop bearing against the strainer, so as to hold it in place, and yet so as to allow its easy removal when required.

I do not wish to be understood as broadly claiming a removable strainer arranged over the base of-the spout of tea or coffee-pots, as such I am aware is not i new. o

I claim as my invention-,

The strainer 0, arranged upon the rod a, and oombined with the loop (I, fixed to the pot, so as to hold the strainer over the base of 'the spout, substantially as set forth. o r
